Car rental companies in New Zealand
I'm looking for specific recommendations or warnings against any car rental companies in New Zealand. I've looked at Ace, Go Rentals, Jucy, Budget, Omega, Pegasus... There is a bit of variation in price and it seems that NZ tends to have two types of rental places - those with new fleets that are fairly pricey (and seem equivalent to what I'm used to in the US when I've had my car in the shop) and those with 5-8 year old cars with high mileage. However, everything I've read says the industry there is pretty regulated and the cars are tested so there shouldn't be any junkers being rented out.
So I guess what it comes down to is customer service. Has anyone had a great experience or a horrible one? I'm going to be renting August 12-22 and touring around the North Island only, so whether or not they allow ferry crossing doesn't apply to me.
Cross-posted all over. Hope it doesn't show up on your f-list too many times...
